We
recently hosted a friend from the Western half of the country, who was visiting RVA for a week. This occasioned for the classic conundrum– finite time to cover
the best possible eating subset.
Coming
up with a shortlist, we had two criteria (other than good food of course)
– capturing some of the essence of RVA, and offering different tastes from
what one could find elsewhere. These caveats meant that a couple of really
good places (some sub-cuisines as well as entrants/stalwarts on the scene that
fell into that all-encompassing “modern American” category) were out.
Within our
admittedly narrow parameters, the end result was the following:
Croaker's
Spot
The
Roosevelt
Heritage
Mama
J’s
Alamo
BBQ
Buz
and Neds, Ipanema and sundry MCV food carts for the working lunch
Bar
visits at the Jefferson, Can Can and Secco.
Thematically
predictable perhaps, but other than possibly one misstep, I think we did pretty
well overall.
